Topic: A Dark Time (Read 2190 times)

I am humbly asking that you will all keep me in prayer, as I have been going through a very dark time lately. Things at home aren't better but worse, and I have really been having difficulty coping lately. (The holiday season is not helping matters either.)

Thanks so much.

Your sister in XC,

Maureen

God, have mercy. I wondered how you'd been doing. You often make me smile with your comments, you know, it seems so sad you can be so cheerful to others and be going through such a tough time. Hope it gets better soon.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth
